the Rams secondary is only as good as their pass rush… Jenkins has reaped the fruits of the DL’s labor….

The Rams have averaged 47 sacks per season since Jenkins has been a Ram….unless he goes to Denver or a team that can consistently rush the passer without the blitz (and Denver blitzed like crazy in the playoffs), he won’t have the same success he’s had with the Rams.

Yeah, I’m still obsessing about the Quinn surgery.
If Q is good-to-go, I think they can get by just fine
without JJ. They’ve got some good young DBs and they can
draft more. Frankly, I think signing Barron, and Hayes is more
important.

Having said that, i do think JJ has all-star talent,
and it looks like he’s finally becoming more disciplined.

Agree. But he isn’t Richard Sherman, and $13 is too much.

Aaron Donald, when his bill comes due.

More than Olsen, Lundy, Grier, Jones, Bacon, Youngblood, Fanning, Dryer, Brooks, Gilbert, Agnew and Farr made during their entire careers, combined.

Buzz builds of Janoris Jenkins staying with the Rams

Janoris Jenkins wasn’t happy with the offer he got from the Rams prior to the deadline for using the franchise tag. He could soon be getting a lot happier with whatever the Rams are offering.

There’s a building buzz in league circles that Jenkins will ultimately remain with the Rams, keeping him in place for at least another year with fellow cornerback Trumaine Johnson, who has received (and accepted) the franchise tag.

Jenkins parted ways with his agent not long before the deadline for using the tag, and he has since hired Neil Schwartz and Jonathan Feinsod. Their primary job has been to see what else is out there, in order to compare it to whatever the Rams will offer.

Despite Jenkins’ performance in four years with the Rams, he arrived in 2012 with plenty of red flags. Those red flags, while fading, could make other teams concerned about the prospect of breaking the bank for a guy they don’t know. The Rams know him, and they clearly trust him.

The real question is whether he’ll continue to earn that trust after swapping his original four-year, $5 million deal for something that pays out a lot more.
